MY BROTHERS AND DADDY!

Joshua, Jared, James, Daddy, Jonathan, and Jason

My Brothers and my Dad! My Dad is a great, kind, humble, devoted, funny and loving man! He led our family by example, he loved my mother, and his children are his whole world! He worked so hard to provide for such a large family, puting in 8 hour days at BYU my whole life! I love that he did all of the laundry for the entire family for as long as I can remember, he was so organized and would spend at least an hour a night in the laundry room, washing sorting, folding, and showing his love to us through service, it was really sweet.

This picture was taken at my Grandma Donnas viewing and our entire family flew into Portland to be together for the funeral! It was a really nice time together as a family.

Left to Right First is Joshua he lives in Texas and was married last summer to a wonderful woman that makes him happy, he has two sons from his first wife Melanie (who we all still have a nice relationship with) I love my brother Joshua!

Second is Jared, he has the softest heart of all of the brothers, he was always so caring and sensitive of others feelings growing up, he lives in Texas too and has one son named Raichle (like the ski boot) and an little girl Tevica, (a famous skiier) I love my brother Jared dearly and miss him alot.

Next is the baby of the family, the youngest of eight kids, he is funny as heck and happy all the time, he is married and lives in Provo with two little girls, he is currently in school at Utah Valley state college and is the cheerleading advisor there! I love youngest my brother James

Then theres my Daddy I love him so much and only have amazing fond, fond memories of my whole life with him.

Then there is Jonathan, he is the rock star if the family (well technicaly so are Josh and Jared) But in my opinion Jonathan is the true rockstar litterally it has been his passion since he was like 10 years old, he lives in Texas and performs almost every night and has a new album out, he lives with his girlfriend and seems really happy.

Last is the oldest of eight children, Jason, he has 5 kids and lives in Alpine Utah and his wife Vanessa if one of my favorite people in the world, Jason is very successful, it seems like everything he touches turns to gold!

I love all of my brothers and my Dear sweet Daddy more than anything! My Mom posted this picture on her FB so I copied it to keep for myself!

Bostons 7th Birthday

Boston wanted a Magic Party this year, it was a lot of fun, he loves magic stuff, tricks and wands a lot right now, it is pretty cute stuff! We were living at our cabin this summer and Boston wanted to have his party at Granpas house, so we decorated Grandpas backyard and had a really great party, a lot of his friends from Grandpas neighborhood wanted to come and it would have been to hard to have them all travel to the cabin so we pulled it off there!

Malibus Playdate

This was a cool pretend snow section, she loved playing in!

She had been playing in the dress up clothes and then was playing in the kitchen area with this crazy cool hat, I though it was so funny, she loved making us pretend plates of food

So my super awesome friend Asia took us to this new placed called Rafiki, it was a blast, there are so many activities for the kids to play, yummy healthy food to buy, slides, play structures, a rock climbing wall for kids, Dance revolution, and my fav. part were the nice comfy couches and chairs to relax and chat with other Moms as we relish in the joys of being Mothers!

It seemed like a pre school that lets the parents come too! I absolutely loved it, Malibu loved the cool paints they had, and playdough at this table.

She stayed over in the toddler slide area, I think she was too scared of the big slides, although she did go down the big slide once on my lap, and we slid down so fast we almost go hurt, so I think that freaked her out.

The kitchen had so many fun things for her to play with, she was totally in pre school heaven

We had a lot of fun painting together, she has always loved coloring, stickers, painting, just being a little artist, I love it when she gets her coloring stuff out, colors me a picture and brings it to me, she will point at all of the lines and shapes she has colored at is so proud it is really sweet.

Asia, Avalon, Malibu and Me! We stayed from 11:00 until after 3:00 because we were all having so much fun, it was $8.00 a child, which I though was pretty good, we got sandwiches, watermellon, grapes, organic chocolate milk to snack on, and just had a great time chatting and having Mommy/Daughter time!

Babies are Malibus very favorite thing in the world, so she of course stayed in the baby play area the longest and really was totally in the Zone :)

My little Malibu, she is growing up so fast, I can't believe she is already 2 1/2 years old, where does the time go?

Costa Vida

COSTA VIDA RESTAURANT (A new Fav. place to go)

So Maddison and I decided to check out this delicious fresh Mex place, it did not disapoint! It is called Costa Vida, it was delicious and we devoured every bite with an ooh and an awe it was fantastic!
